About this property
The Heart of Phoenicia. Serene. Cozy. Close to all.
Come relax and reconnect in this calm and quiet little house nestled in the center of our beautiful and welcoming village. HELLO SLOMADS! Enjoy the greatest food and drink available just steps away. All you need is right nearby whether its gas, groceries, ATM, even a Pharmacy. You're also on the doorstep of hiking trails with BREATHTAKING VIEWS and gorgeous trout streams. Lounge AROUND A GLOWING CAMPFIRE in the back yard with S’mores or SPIN VINYL. On NYC bus route. The best the Catskills offer. LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO UNWIND? Have FUN and REJUVINATE? Then come to Heart of Phoenicia. CLOSE TO COFFEE and you're also on the doorstep of hiking trails with BREATHTAKING VIEWS. After your adventures, enjoy the greatest food available anywhere at nearby eateries, RELAX AROUND A GLOWING CAMPFIRE in the back yard with S’mores or SPIN SOME VINYL ON THE BEST RETRO SOUND SYSTEM IN TOWN. Just steps from a NYC bus route. A stay here gives the best the Catskills have to offer! COZY, WARM, COOL. Mine is quiet retreat on a very quiet road with everything one needs for a longer stay, including STRONG WIFI THAT BLANKETS THE ENTIRE YARD.
Whether you come in a car or get off the bus, getting here is easy. Park in my driveway or take the block long stroll from Main street where a Trailways Bus comes and goes to NYC several times a day. Once inside you may want to chill and make a cup of Espresso in the fully stocked kitchen or just leave your stuff and head back to the heart of the Hamlet. Plenty of food and drink there! Depending on the time, you may end up having breakfast at the famed Phoenicia Diner or enjoy happy hour at the Sportsman’s Alamo Cantina or dinner at the Phoenicia Steakhouse. Or you might choose to grab some groceries at the local supermarket and head back to do some cooking. All is just a short walk even with a couple bags of groceries. I’ve done it many times, even in a snowstorm!
Since a picture is worth a thousand words I’ll let the images of my house do most of the talking, but gotta say that its cozy, cute and cool. The retro living room is a great hangout with a smart TV, vintage stereo and healthy stock of Vinyl and books to choose from. And the layout is set up so you can stay in touch with others in the Kitchen or zone them out if anyone needs solitude.
Upstairs things get a little more country with a comfy queen size bed in the main bedroom and a full size one in the guest room. A couple of Tivoli Radios are up there that you can hook your phone to and the strong wifi signal will get you Spotify or whatever streaming you like. Otherwise it’s quiet up there and great for napping. You’ve got full use of the dressers for your stuff and a large closet to toss your luggage in.
As nice as the house is, Phoenicia itself is the real star of any stay. For skiers, Belleayre and Hunter Mountain are only 15 minutes away. Like to hike? There are trails that start not far from the front door. A stroll along the cleaned streets and sidewalks will be fun and romantic and may lead you to the Hamlets outskirts where the cool Phoenicia Diner and unique Woodstock Brewery sit. I should mention the Phoenicia Playhouse since you’ll be walking past it quite a bit. Several times a year they produce great live performances of small dramas by Mamet to big musicals from the likes of Sondheim. They bring lots of live music to town too.
